This has to be one of the best Airbnb’s i have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The view was so beautiful the host was super helpful and had so many recommendations for us to do in the area. The host helped me get in contact with a driver who was able to show us around. They assisted with helping us find a chef who prepared us an amazing Breakfeast. Overall the host was super helpful with literally everything !!! Will be coming back with my family very soon

Thank you so much, Jannelly, for your wonderful review. We’re truly happy to know you enjoyed the views, your time at Ivy Marey, and the assistance we were able to provide during your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be delighted to welcome you back with your family anytime. We hope to see you again very soon!

Second stay at this wonderful, beautifully appointed house in a privileged location. We spent two weeks here on a family holiday and never tired of the views, the beach, or the surrounding nature - it is truly a hidden gem. Access can be a little challenging, and the security process at the gate is quite formal and sometimes slow, but once inside the residential community, it feels like paradise, especially if you are looking for a peaceful stay. Communication with Brenda was smooth throughout, and we greatly appreciated her helpful tips and flexibility - we look forward to returning soon!

Thank you so much, Nils, for your wonderful review and, above all, for choosing Ivy Marey once again. It truly means a lot to us that you and your family continue to enjoy the house, the beach, and the peaceful surroundings. We deeply appreciate the care and respect with which you treat our home, and it is always a pleasure to host you. Thank you as well for your kind words about our communication and hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you and your family for another stay! Ivy Marey will always be your home away from home.

Brenda’s home was beautiful! If you’re looking for a quiet place with your own pool and semi-private beach, this is the place for you. There’s a rough road coming in, but it’s worth it.

Thank you very much, Gabriela. We are very happy that you enjoyed Ivy Marey. It was a pleasure to welcome you, and we hope to see you again soon.

Beautiful views and lovely place. Brenda and the caretakers were attentive in addressing the issues we had and the thorough details/instructions on the listing made our stay easy.

My family and I had an amazing vacation. The house was beautiful! It had everything we needed, and amazing views of the ocean. The property felt very private. The coconut and mango trees were constantly dropping delicious fruit. The host Brenda always responded quickly. Some heads up for other guests: the road getting to the house is bumpy and the driveway is steep. Also the Waze GPS told me to turn left on the street that the house is on but I actually needed to turn right. And I avoided parking right under the mango trees to avoid the falling fruit possibly damaging my rental car. All in all we had a great time staying at the Ivy Marey. The pool was great. The beach was beautiful and private. There's also a restaurant within the gated community that's attached to some resort/hotel that was good. That restaurant was convenient when we arrived kind of late and didn't want to go back out that night in search of food. I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it!

Thank you very much, Michael, for your nice review and for choosing Ivy Marey for your family vacation. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the house, the pool, the beach, the views, and the privacy of the property. We also appreciate your feedback on access. Since it's in a more natural and private beach area, the road may have some bumps, so we always recommend checking the directions for getting here carefully before your trip. It was a pleasure to welcome you, and we would love to have you back at Ivy Marey.

we spent great time at the Airbnb home vary clean with beautiful view Brenda was so welcoming she communicated with us with any concerns or questions definitely going back I recommend this place to anyone.

Thank you very much, David, for your kind words and for choosing Ivy Marey to share as a family. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the house, the views and your stay. It was a pleasure to be able to assist you during your arrival and to be available to help you with anything you needed. It will be a pleasure to welcome you again in the future. Thanks again for your visit and recommendation.

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house in Playa Shalpa. The highlight was definitely the private beach access, as it was peaceful, clean. The view of the ocean was beautiful, and we loved having our own pool, which was cleaned daily by the staff. The home is located in a gated area, so it felt very safe. The house is a bit remote. The nearest town, El Zonte, is about 15 minutes by car and major grocery stores are about 25 minutes away. That said, the stunning beach made it completely worth it. One thing to note is that there was no A/C in the common areas, which was fine during the day but at night, especially during the dry season, it did get hot. Also, the single bedroom downstairs did not have A/C, which was mentioned in the listing, but we overlooked it due to how detailed the listing was. Brenda, the host, was amazing. She was very responsive, quick to answer any questions, and incredibly helpful with recommendations. I would highly recommend this place for future vacations !

Thank you so much, Gabriela, for your thoughtful and detailed review. We are truly happy to know that you and your group enjoyed the privacy, the beach, the views, and the peaceful atmosphere of Ivy Marey. It also means a lot to us that you appreciated the support and attention from our team throughout your stay. Thank you as well for mentioning the details about the location and the downstairs bedroom, as we always try to describe the property as clearly and transparently as possible so guests can choose the experience that best fits what they are looking for. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be delighted to welcome you back anytime in the future.

My experience with Ivys Marie place was amazing! Brenda was an amazing host. The communication was amazing and all the local restaurants she recommended did have amazing food. The place was really clean and friendly. The assistant staff were super friendly and we felt at home. If you are looking for an amazing, quiet and unique experience I would recommend booking with Brenda!. She will make your vacation unforgettable and those morning sunrise and sunset are gorgeous. Best stay ever !

Thank you so much for your kind words — it truly means a lot to us. We’re very happy to know your experience at Ivy Marey was so special. Making our guests feel well cared for and at home is very important to us, so it’s incredibly rewarding to hear that you enjoyed the communication, cleanliness, atmosphere, and local recommendations. Ivy Marey is designed to offer a peaceful, unique, and memorable experience, connected to nature and the beauty of Playa Shalpa, so knowing you experienced it that way means a great deal to us. Thank you again for choosing us. It would be a true pleasure to welcome you back anytime.

Brenda and the caretakers were very attentive and responsive. Beautiful home! The pool and beach access were highight of the house.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Lorena. It was truly a pleasure hosting you. We’re delighted to know you enjoyed the house, especially the pool and beach access—those are some of our favorite features as well. We also appreciate your recognition of our team’s effort to provide a great experience. You’re always welcome back at Ivy Marey 🌿

A very beautiful house, with private amenities. Ideal to go on vacation or enjoy the sea Brenda the host was very attentive and kind with a quick response. William was very kind, he helped us at all times

Guille, thank you so much for your review and for choosing Ivy Marey for your stay. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the house, the surroundings, and the amenities. It was a pleasure to welcome you and to know that you felt well taken care of by both me and William. I am happy to welcome you back again when you wish to return.

The views were beautiful especially from the pool area and principal bedroom. Spacious with different areas to relax including several hammocks. Just a walk down to a quiet beach with lots of waves. Fourth bedroom was very small with no a/c but other three were big with bathrooms. Host responded well.

Thank you, Stacey, for your stay and for taking the time to share your experience. We are very happy to know that you enjoyed the ocean views, the pool area, the hammocks, and the peaceful beach atmosphere surrounding Ivy Marey. We also appreciate you mentioning the downstairs bedroom details. As noted in the listing, that room is intentionally designed as a smaller room with fans instead of A/C, while the other bedrooms offer larger spaces and private bathrooms. We always try to describe the property as transparently as possible so guests know exactly what to expect. Thank you again for your visit, and we would love to host you again in the future.

I don’t write many reviews, but this place is absolutely worth it. One word — AMAZING! The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need. The beach is the best we’ve seen in the area — not even comparable to El Tunco or El Zonte. It’s peaceful, sandy, and perfect for waves. We spent hours there every day, and it’s just steps from the house. This has been the most amazing stay in over 10 years of using Airbnb. Highly recommend! We also ordered from El Peñón restaurant a couple of times (the menu is in the house), and everything was excellent — both breakfast and dinner. They even delivered to us, so you could easily stay at the Airbnb without going out for days (honestly, I wish we had!).

Ieva, Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and generous review — it truly means a lot to us. We’re especially happy to hear that Ivy Marey stands out as one of your most memorable Airbnb stays. Creating a space that feels both beautiful and deeply relaxing is exactly what we aim for, so knowing you enjoyed the home, the beach, and the overall experience so much is incredibly rewarding. Playa Shalpa has a very special charm, and we love that you were able to fully enjoy its peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty. It’s wonderful to know you made the most of those long beach days. We’re also glad you enjoyed El Peñón — it’s one of our favorite local recommendations and part of the experience we love sharing with our guests. Thank you again for choosing Ivy Marey. It would truly be a pleasure to host you again anytime.

As a host, Brenda gets 5++ stars! She’s extremely responsive and very helpful. The house is as described in terms of its beauty and location relative to the private beach of Playa Shalpa.The house is well loved by Brenda and she has placed some lovely art and touches in the home. Its layout is spacious. The view from the mater bedroom is amazing. Here are some items to note: You are in a developing country. The house is fairly remote, you enter via a guarded gate and then continue down a very rocky, unpaved road that does require a sturdy SUV or truck. The closest town is about 15 min away and you will be driving to and from for restaurants or any excursion. The roads are busy with trucks and can get backed up with slow moving traffic. The home itself needs some updates for kitchen bathrooms. It is peaceful and quiet, the pool is lovely and access to private beach is nice.

Thank you very much, Stephanie, for your comments and for highlighting aspects such as the service, the design of the home, and the views — we truly appreciate it. We’re glad to know you enjoyed the property, its tranquility, the pool, and the direct access to the beach. Regarding some of the points mentioned, Ivy Marey is located in a natural and private oceanfront setting, which is part of its essence and is described in the listing so guests can make an informed decision based on the type of experience they are seeking. El Salvador has become a highly valued destination for travelers looking for authenticity, nature, and unique coastal experiences, and Playa Shalpa offers exactly that — a peaceful and less crowded environment surrounded by natural beauty. As for improvements, we are continuously working on maintenance and updates to further enhance the experience for our guests. Thank you again for your stay

Brenda’s place was stunning, We loved the private beach and the kids loved the pool. Waking up to The view of the Ocean was amazing!! The caretakers William and Kendy were pleasant and very helpful. Brenda’s care for her guests was incredible, she made sure we were safe and well cared for, she was quick to respond to our needs. Thank you Brenda for allowing us to stay in your lovely home , We had a wonderful time.

Ana, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It truly means a lot to us that you and your family enjoyed your stay, especially the beach, the pool, and those ocean views. We’re also very happy to hear that William and Keny made your experience even more comfortable — we’ll be sure to share your kind feedback with them. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re grateful for how respectful and easy you were as guests. You are always welcome back at Ivy Marey — we would love to host you again anytime. Warm regards, Brenda

We had an amazing stay at Brenda‘s Airbnb. The location and private beach felt safe, clean and was great for swimming. We loved the space with the pool, kitchen and barbeque, and having the place all to ourselves. William was always available if we needed something and Brenda was always quick to respond. The road is pretty bumpy coming in but manageable. Having beachfront access was awesome and we would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Brenda for providing such a beautiful space for our getaway. Muchas gracias!

Thanks Brodie for your kind review. We’re very glad you enjoyed your stay at Ivy Marey, especially the beach access, pool area, and the privacy of having the whole property to yourselves. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your words about our team. We would love to welcome you back to Ivy Marey in the future.

Perfect location. World class view. You will never forget this place. You wake up every day to the sound of the waves.

Charles, thank you so much. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location and that view that really makes Ivy Marey a special place. Waking up to the sound of the sea is an experience we want every guest to always remember. It was a pleasure to welcome you during your 14-night stay and we look forward to welcoming you again very soon. 🌊✨

Beautiful place, perfect facilities. I would definitely come back.

Precioso lugar, instalaciones perfectas. Sin duda volvería.

We also really appreciate your recognition of the cleanliness, communication and overall experience. It will be a real pleasure to welcome you again in the future. ¡Gracias for your visit!

Brenda was a great and lovely host. This place is absolutely beautiful and is exactly what the pictures showed. Recommend 10/10.

Gracias, Tanya, por tu reseña tan linda. Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron la casa y que la experiencia fue tal como la esperaban. Fue un verdadero gusto recibirlos, y agradecemos también tu amabilidad y excelente comunicación. Siempre serán bienvenidos cuando deseen regresar.

Brenda’s house is truly paradise on earth. The space is beautifully designed, with incredible art and bold, vibrant colors in every room that make the home feel alive and inspiring. The infinity-edge pool is unreal, and the staircase down to a semi-private black sand beach — which was barely ever crowded — felt like something out of a dream. Every detail of the house is special, and it’s the kind of place you never want to leave. On top of all that, Brenda was an exceptional host and responded within 20 minutes every time. An absolutely unforgettable stay. PS would recommend an off road vehicle as the road to her house is rocky but easy. There’s a gate at the door that will check you in every time.

Gracias, Dillon, por tus palabras tan generosas. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaron del diseño, la energía de la casa y de ese acceso tan especial a la playa. Ivy Marey fue creada para inspirar y ofrecer una experiencia única, y leer que fue inolvidable para ustedes nos honra profundamente. Gracias también por destacar la comunicación y por la recomendación del vehículo; sin duda ayuda a futuros huéspedes. Será un gusto recibirlos nuevamente cuando deseen regresar.

The whole place was absolutely beautiful and welcoming. The staff was really helpful definitely coming here again.

All in all, a enjoyable stay. Brenda helped us quickly, even when it didn't go as expected. Thank you

Alles in allem ein angenehmer Aufenthalt. Brenda hat uns rasch geholfen, auch als es mal nicht so wie erwartet lief. Danke schön

Gracias, Boris, por tu reseña y por haberse hospedado en Ivy Marey. Nos alegra saber que, en general, tuvieron una estancia agradable. Siempre estamos atentos para apoyar a nuestros huéspedes y resolver cualquier situación lo más pronto posible. Gracias por su comprensión y por compartir su experiencia. Serán bienvenidos cuando deseen regresar.

Very nice for family vacations, I highly recommend the pupusas in front of the condominium

Muy bonito para vacacionar en familia, recomiendo por mil las pupusas que están al frente del condominio

Gracias, Jenyfer 😊 Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron su estadía en familia y de los alrededores. Será un gusto recibirles nuevamente en Ivy Marey 🌊✨

Our family of six had a wonderful time in Brenda's villa. The location is perfect with gorgeous ocean views and just a brief stroll down the garden to the beach. The beach is pristine and the surf was great for those in the family who were learning to surf (we rented boards in El Tunco). The villa itself had everything we needed, was tastefully decorated, and squeaky clean. Brenda was wonderfully kind, communicative and responsive to our needs, and the caretakers Keny and William were lovely. We loved our stay, and would happily recommend Brenda's villa!

¡Gracias, Oystein! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que tu familia disfrutó tanto de su estadía en Ivy Marey. Nos honra que hayan apreciado la ubicación, la playa y la experiencia de surf, así como el cuidado y la decoración de la villa. Fue un placer acompañarlos, y transmitiremos con gusto sus palabras a Keny y William. Siempre serán bienvenidos de regreso. ¡Gracias por recomendarnos! 🌊

The place is identical to the pictures. A direct access to the beach that looks like it's from a magazine cover. Private beach that is definitely a plus. The house was clean and very comfortable. It deserves 5 stars, we definitely recommend it and we will be back soon.

El alojamiento es idéntico a las fotos. Un acceso directo a la playa que parece sacado de una portada de revista. Playa privada que definitivamente es un plus. La casa estaba limpia y muy cómoda. Merecidas las 5 estrellas, sin duda los recomendamos y volveremos pronto.

Muchas gracias, Liz. Qué alegría saber que disfrutaron tanto su estancia y que el lugar superó sus expectativas. Fue un verdadero placer recibirlos. ¡Siempre serán bienvenidos de regreso a Ivy Marey para más momentos junto al mar! 🌊✨

Amazing place and views. One of the most memorable airbnbs I’ve stayed at! Great host and service!

Thank you so much, Rishi! We’re truly happy to know Ivy Marey was a memorable part of your journey. It was a pleasure hosting you — you’re always welcome back anytime! 🌊✨

My family and I had a wonderful time at this property! Brenda the host was extremely helpful with setting up a birthday surprise for my sister ahead of our arrival and was very responsive throughout the trip. We all really enjoyed the private beach access, the kids loved the pool, and we made use of the grill onsite as well 😊 wouldn’t suggest anything other than a 4WD SUV/Van while you stay here, it may be very hard to travel in and out with ease otherwise.

Brenda's home was amazing and peaceful with spectacular views of the ocean. Would definitely come back again. Would highly recommend for any amd all occasions. 10 out of 10

Gracias, Kenneth! Qué alegría saber que disfrutaron su estadía y las vistas al mar. Siempre serán bienvenidos en Ivy Marey. ¡Será un placer recibirles nuevamente!

My family and I are super delighted with our stay at Brenda's house on the beautiful beaches of El Salvador, she and the staff in charge of the house are super attentive, an extremely nice, cozy house with a heavenly view, we would love to go back right there, we love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mi familia y yo estamos súper encantados de nuestra estadía en casa de Brenda en las hermosas playas de El Salvador, ella y el personal a cargo de la casa súper atentos, una casa extremadamente linda, acogedora y con una vista paradisiaca, nos encantaría volver allí mismo, amamos ❤️❤️❤️❤️

¡Gracias, Sofía! Fue un gusto recibirlos. Nos alegra mucho que hayan disfrutado su estancia y se hayan sentido tan a gusto. ¡Siempre serán bienvenidos en Ivy Marey! ❤️🌴

Never disappointed!  Brenda is an amazing host and William & Keny are there for anything you need!  This was my 4th time staying at Ivy Marey and it won’t be our last!  10/10 everytime!

Sarah, Sin duda nuestros huéspedes favoritos!!! Gracias por siempre regresar a Ivy Marey Hasta pronto !

A wonderful and well-curated place with direct access to the Shalpa beach, one the most private and cleanest of Surf City. Great option for families with kids, excellent communication and nice housekeepers. Will be back soon!

Gracias Nils , un placer tenerles como huéspedes

It is a very beautiful place to spend days in peace, a very beautiful view.

Brenda was very friendly and very attentive, we had clear instructions from the beginning. The house is beautiful, more beautiful than in the photos and with a spectacular view. Decorated with excellent taste, fully equipped kitchen with everything you need, furniture in excellent condition. We hope to return soon.

Brenda fue muy amable y muy atenta, tuvimos instrucciones claras desde un inicio. La casa preciosa, más linda que en las fotos y con una vista espectacular. Decorada con excelente gusto, cocina totalmente equipada con todo lo necesario, muebles en excelente estado. Esperamos volver pronto.

¡Muchas gracias por tus palabras! Me alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron su estadía. Serán siempre bienvenidos cuando deseen regresar. 🌊✨

Perfect Stay! I loved the place. It was super clean, comfortable, super relaxing, safe; everything was impeccable. All kitchen utensils, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, all working without a problem. Brenda's house is perfect for a weekend and to return relaxed. The view from the pool is amazing, the private beach is a few steps away. I love that feeling of open spaces that the house has and at the same time being able to make it private with its sliding glass doors. Without a doubt, one of the places I've visited that I've loved the most. We're already thinking about our next visit! Thank you for having us Brenda and William's service, everything was excellent.

Estadía Perfecta! Me encanto el lugar super limpio, cómodo, ambiente super relajante, seguro; todo impecable. Todos los utensilios de cocina, refri, microondas, cafetera, todo funcionando sin problema. La casa de Brenda es perfecta para pasar un fin de semana y regresar relajado. La vista desde la piscina es increíble, la playa privada a unos pasos. Me encanto esa sensación de espacios abiertos que tiene la casa y al mismo tiempo poder hacerla privada con sus puertas corredizas de vidrio. Sin duda alguna uno de los lugares que eh visitado que mas me han encantado. Ya estamos pensando en nuestra siguiente visita! Gracias por recibirnos Brenda y las atenciones de William, todo estuvo Excelente.

¡Gracias, Katia! Qué alegría saber que disfrutaron tanto su estadía. Me encanta que hayan sentido la casa como un espacio relajante y cómodo, y que apreciaran los detalles como la vista, la cercanía a la playa y la privacidad. Fue un gusto tenerlos y siempre serán bienvenidos.

Place was super beautiful just like in pictures amazing views super clean and cozy house is right on beach very quiet sleazing food around also at entrance of property there is lady’s selling some really good Pupusas’s across the street also have a small store that has just about anything you need to make a good meal at home will definitely recommend to other 🥰

Gracias Sandra por tus comentarios. Nos alegra que hayas disfrutado de nuestra casa

Thank you so much Brenda for hosting us in your gorgeous home! From the thoughtful decoration to the panoramic views, this is the perfect oasis to find serenity in paradise. The beach access is idyllic and at the same time just far enough for just the right level privacy and quietness. Brenda was a superb host — always available to provide the best local suggestions. Can’t wait to be back!

Gracias Julio por escoger nuestra casa.  Siempre bienvenidos

We were very comfortable and relaxed at Ivy Marey, the place is beautiful, exactly as in the photos, the people in charge were very kind, the beach was just for us, in fact the way it is in the middle of two coves, makes it feel like a private beach, we saw a wonderful sunset. We enjoyed the privacy and tranquility of the area without excessive noise. Brenda is very accessible and friendly and of course we'll be back. We loved it!

Estuvimos muy a gusto y tranquilas en Ivy Marey, el lugar es hermoso, exactamente como en las fotos, las personas encargadas fueron muy amables, la playa estaba solo para nosotras, de hecho la forma en la que esta enmedio de dos calas, hace que se sienta como una playa privada, vimos un atardecer maravilloso. Disfrutamos la privacidad y la tranquilidad de la zona sin excesos de ruidos. Brenda es muy accesible y amable y por supuesto que volveremos. Nos encantó!

The house is spectacular, everything in the kitchen is in perfect condition, I would visit it again whenever I can, Brenda is an excellent host, she was always attentive and was very kind.

La casa es espectacular, en la cocina todo en perfecto estado, lo volvería a visitar siempre que pueda, Brenda excelente anfitrión, siempre estuvo atenta y fue muy amable.

Gracias por tu reseña Leslie. Siempre será un gusto recibirles

Beautiful place, nice and comfortable house. Excellent service and communication with Brenda and the people who work in the house. Respectful, honest and providing everything for a nice stay at the house. I loved the Buddha details, and the decoration of the spaces, as well as the pool and its view.

Hermoso lugar, linda y cómoda la casa. Excelente atención y comunicación con Brenda y las personas que trabajan en la casa. Respetuosos, honrados y generando todo para una linda estancia en la casa. Me encantaron los detalles de Buda, y la decoración de los epacios, además de la piscina y su vista.

Gracias Delourdes! Fue un verdadero placer hospedarte. Me alegra saber que tu experiencia en Ivy Marey fue positiva. Siempre serás bienvenida de vuelta cuando gustes.

Ivey Marey is a dream. We loved the view from the master bedroom. The truth is that all the views are divine. We also liked that the beach feels very private. We really enjoyed our visit!

Ivey Marey es un sueño. Nos encantó la vista de la habitación principal. La verdad es que todas las vistas son divinas. Nos gustó también que la playa se siente muy privada. Disfrutábamos mucho de nuestra visita!

Andrea, fue un gusto tenerles como huéspedes, esperamos poder recibirles de nuevo pronto

We had an amazing few days. The sunsets by the sea were spectacular The house is very well equipped and I will certainly love to return. Thank you for making sure everything was fine.

Pasamos unos días increíbles los atardeceres frente al mar fueron espectaculares La casa está muy bien equipada y sin duda ninguna me encantara volver . Gracias por estar pendiente que todo estuviera bien .

I have spent unforgettable moments, the space creates an atmosphere of peace and the house is so cozy and tasteful. Thank you, thank you, I recommend this beautiful place

He transcurrido momentos inolvidables, el espacio crea una admirers de paz y la casa es tan acogedora y con tan buen gusto. Gracias gracias, recomiendo este lugar hermoso

The perfect beach house with a stunning view! It is clean and full of little beautiful details which make you feel at home right away. Brenda is a very welcoming host! It was not the last time we stayed here.

The Airbnb we stayed at was nothing short of magical. Nestled right on the beach, it offered breathtaking views of the ocean, with waves gently lapping at the shore just steps away. The sunsets were mesmerizing, painting the sky in hues of pink, orange, and gold, all perfectly framed by the large windows and the cozy deck. Every detail of the space exuded romance—from the soft ambient lighting to the comfortable furnishings designed for relaxation. Waking up to the sound of the waves and ending the evenings with a starlit sky made it the perfect retreat, combining natural beauty with an intimate, serene ambiance. It’s definitely a good idea to have a truck or a vehicle with good ground clearance to get to the property. The road leading to the Airbnb is a bit rugged, with uneven terrain that could be challenging for smaller cars. A truck makes the journey much smoother and ensures you can navigate the area without any issues, so you can fully enjoy the beautiful, secluded location.

Brenda’s place is beautiful, the view is stunning.

Beautiful location and home Private volcanic sand beach Brenda and Valeria were very helpful with the home . Highly recommend a 4 wheel drive truck as it’s bumpy. Lots of great restaurants nearby including Beto’s, Vikings and others. Would stay here again

Amazing Host, very responsable, and very well trained staff. The care about details, hospitality, reactivity and help for everything, including our teen malinois Indiana Jones. We were very happy to stay there. One of the best homes of La Libertad. Thank you Brenda

I had an amazing stay at Brenda's Airbnb! The place was spotless and well-maintained, making for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The only thing to keep in mind is the road leading to the property—it's a bit bumpy. I highly recommend renting a large 4x4 vehicle to handle the terrain. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I would definitely return!

Ivy Marey was one of the most spectacular places I have ever stayed at! From Brenda’s friendliness and reliability, to the beautiful private Shalpa Beach, secure community, and amazing house this stay was truly memorable. The pictures do not do it justice how incredible it is in person! She gave us amazing recommendations where we met Cristian from El Zonte Taxis and Adventures who was able to drive us anywhere and any time, Sandra and her husband who gave us the best massages of our life, Alex who let us keep our bags at his oceanfront hotel in El Zonte since we arrived very early in the morning and Valeria who was able to help us out at the house whenever needed. Our group couldn’t have asked for a better stay for our first time in El Salvador. I would highly recommend staying at Brendas place Ivy Marey if you are wanting to have the best time in this country!

Thanks Noah   It’s a pleasure to have guests like you and your friends

Second time we've stayed at Brenda's place. The house is amazing, and as described. The beach is secluded and beautiful. Would recommend it. A couple of issues (dirty rag on bed, dirty towel), but, Brenda was quick to correct. Our stay was great otherwise, and any issues that needed Brenda's attention were promptly dealt with.

Thank you for your comments Gabriel, we regret that the cleaning lady forgot the duster on your bed and that the towel had a paint stain that did not come out with bleach, and that this cost us not to get an excellent 5 star rating as we usually have... we will continue to fine-tune the details. We hope to receive you again.

The place was very nice. Brenda is always easily accessible and helpful. 4.8-5 stars

Die Unterkunft war sehr schön. Brenda ist immer gut erreichbar und hilfsbereit. 4,8-5 Sternen

Brenda's place was just as described and the home is beautiful and feels very serene. The view from the deck is fantastic! The pool was great and the beach down the  hill was even better! Brenda was super responsive and communicative throughout the whole process and provided very valuable tips and information. The on-site staff person, Valeria, was always there when we needed her with a smile and a great disposition. The house was well supplied and had everything we needed. Two things to note: As indicated by the pictures, this is a multi level property with stairs that do not always have railings, so people with mobility challenges may have trouble getting around. Also, the drive in is indeed rough. We made it in a normal passenger van, but our professional driver almost got stuck and was hesitant to bring in his vehicle again... so a 4x4 is not essential but probably a really good idea. But we absolutely loved this place!

Thank you Brenda for being an amazing host. We loved your home and we can’t wait to come back one day !!!

Immaculate home with a beautiful view to the beach. Home has an amazing infinity pool with a spectacular view as well. Brenda's communication was 2nd to none, she constantly along with her team were available for any and all questions. During our stay El Salvador received some of the worst rains it had recipes in a couple of years. Something that of course was out of Brenda's hands. We had some issues di the rain, hut Brenda and her team accommodated us beyond measure.

all the staff was very helpful very nice and a very polite I enjoy my stay and I would stay there again

Perfect for our two families to stay, relax and unwind while in El Salvador! Nice surfing spot just a short hike through the woods from the front. I loved the layout of the home and the decor. The pool was perfect too! We had everything we needed besides food. I would recommend getting everything needed on the way in so you can just stay and relax! Brenda even recommended someone who can and gave massages at the home for us!! The beach in back of the house is small and private.. not a good break to surf but perfect to relax and for kids to play on the sand.

Brenda's place was amazing with direct beach access and very well kept grounds. The house is very well maintained and her staff is accomodating and friendly. The shalpa beach is a gem which is a nearly private beach with black sand. The only small point is that you definitely need a 4x 4 to get to the property. I stayed with my husband, young children and in-laws and the house easily accomodated us. We visited during rainy season and would definitely stay again!

It was my second time on this place. Simple beautiful and clean. I recomended 100%

We ( two families with 4 little children) stayed at Ivi Marey for two months It was an absolutely incredible stay. The house is amazing and one of the most beautiful house we’ve ever stayed in. You can see the love and dedication Brenda has put into the design and details of the house. Everything is well equipped and maintained. The views are absolutely stunning. We even saw whales from the terrace. The beach is very close and most of the time there is also a lifeguard. The garden is also very nice. We could harvest Mangos and Bananas. The pool is amazing for the kids! Brenda really is a Superhost. She was available all the time and helped us with everything we needed. Also she checked in with us every now and then to see if we’re alright. She also has the best food recommendations 🤗 The caretakers of the house (Valeria, William and Kenya) are also amazing. They made the stay so comfy and also helped us immediately with everything. We’ll definitely come back!

It was a pleasure to have you, your family and guests  Anna,  thanks for being such wonderful guests... Always welcome

I highly recommend a very nice holiday with my family

La recomiendo mucho pase muy bonitas vacaciones con mi familia

The ocean view was amazing! Would definitely come back

Fue increíble la vista al mar ! Sin duda regresaría

Erick un placer recibirlea en Ivy Marey. Tener huéspedes como ustedes nos encanta

This was my 2nd time staying here at Brenda's house. The view from the main bedroom is BEAUTIFUL and the main selling point. This house is on a cliff and it has the best views of Shalpa beach. It is very peaceful, tranquil, and inviting. This is a perfect house to truly relax with your friends/family and take in all the beauty of nature. The infinity pool is pristine and clean. The rooms are spacious and the family rooms are awesome. I like the books that are there which talk about the History, Culture, and Landscapes of El Salvador. The beach is a short walk down the property, and the cove is a hidden gem. This place is a slice of paradise. It really is. The workers helped us with our bags, and they are there available for any thing you may need. Overall, one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in El Salvador.  The only tricky part is getting there, after the gate. It is a very rocky and dirt road, so I would recommend driving very cautiously.

Siempre es un gusto recibirles Brian, gracias por tus comentarios

Definitely one of the best AirBnB, or any travel experience for that matter, I've ever enjoyed. Brenda and her team run a very professional operation, which means great communication, very accurate information, and a beautifully designed and maintained property. The private cove is aesthetically breathtaking with the waves crashing against the cliffs, the sunsets, the protected gentle & pristine beach. Our group created a memory here that will last a lifetime. On top of that, I enjoyed many quiet moments of meditation on my own, soaking in the divine sights, sounds, smells and textures. Valería and her crew, also perfect. Just the way I prefer at an AirBnB. Always pick up the phone and answer questions, right there when you need them, but otherwise highly respectful of privacy. Also very secure, but also, the security staff at the gate very very friendly! Muchas Gracias for the wonderful experience, Brenda.

Gracias a ti por los comentarios David. Les haré saber a William y Valeria que fueron bien calificados. Un gusto tenerles , esperamos poder recibirles pronto de nuevo

Brenda's place was amazing and Brenda was an excellent host. The staff that she had tending to the house were excellent people. William, Valarie and Kenya did an excellent job. The aforementioned things gave the house a 10 out of 10. The Infinity pool was awesome and so was the beach. The photos does not do the home justice . If it wasn't for the entryway getting into the community I would definitely book again, but the road going into the community was terrible. It was rocky with potholes. I recommend a Jeep. Be careful with food and drinks wipe everything down immediately because ants were a huge problem. One night we got home and there was a massive trail of ants going into the kitchen. Remember the home is located in the forest so I don't think this is something that they can control.

I would definitely come back to Ivey Marey house. Everything was absolutely beautiful. The most amazing thing was the beach. Private and secluded beach access.

Brenda was extremely friendly and responsive whenever I had questions. It is a beautiful home with beautiful surroundings. The beach is right in the backyard. Everything was amazing.

Like I said, the place is far away from the airport, the road after your access the gate is very bad. But the house is so beautiful , the beach is private, and waking up in the mornings with that beautiful view of the ocean is worth it. The water pressure needs to be checked out , we can't use the 3 bathrooms at the same time, probably because of the way that house is located. But definitely I want to go back. Brenda is a super nice person, and she was available to take our call at midle of the night. The people who clean and take care of the house are super sweet and hard workers. Thank you 😊 for being attentive to us.

Agradecemos los comentarios pero deseamos dejar claro estos puntos importantes sobre la distancia del aeropuerto a Ivy Marey y sobre la calle vecinal de Playa Shalpa: 1) La distancia entre el Aeropuerto Internacional Monseñor Arnulfo Romero y Playa Shalpa es de 61.4 kilometros , aproximadamente a 1 hora y 20 minutos. Por supusto que si la llegada es en la madrugada debemos tomar en cuenta el cansancio y que en la noche iremos más despacio y con más ansias de llegar, igual que como hicimos con ustedes, no importa la hora estaremos pendientes de su llegada a la casa. 2) La calle vecinal de Playa Shalpa después del portón de seguridad no está pavimentada (por favor referirse a las fotos) pero no es necesario tener un vehículo 4x4 para transitarla ya que no hay condiciones que lo requieran. Parte de la belleza del lugar es mantenerlo así e invitar a nuestros huespedes a disfrutar de la hermosura natural que Playa Shalpa ofrece. Les esperamos de nuevo Monica, saludos

The beach is magical, it's very private! Brenda is very attentive, everything was clean and her staff was very friendly! We'll definitely be back.

La playa es mágica, es muy privado! Brenda es muy atenta, todo estaba limpio y su personal muy amable! Con seguridad regresaremos.

Outstanding ! our vacations were incredible in your place, thank you so much for everything, we enjoyed every moment.

Lili, having guests like you makes our work worthwhile

Our family had a truly wonderful stay at Brenda’s! The home felt like an oasis from the moment we arrived. The private beach access was a dream and the pool and outdoor showers were cool & refreshing. The house has eclectic decor and a very unique vibe that we enjoyed. We would love to stay here again in the future and highly recommend this home to other guests.

Brenda's place is just like the pictures. Is a lovely house on a private beach. My family and I loved this place. I would suggest that they do something about the upstairs showers not a lot water falling. One of the master sinks is a bit loose. Other than that her places is amazing. She is very helpful and communication with her is very easy. I would recommend this place to anyone. The people in charge are very nice. Specially Valeria.

We are a small family of 3 and we were only able to get space at the Brenda House those dates since the guy is on vacation so our expectations were low. However, getting there was easy after a long drive from Guatemala.  Brenda is very attentive to our arrival. The house was in perfect condition very clean and tidy, the instructions were very clear and accurate. I love the spacious rooms, the comfort of the common areas, the kitchen equipment (the huge cool), the sunbathing chairs, the freshwater pool, the freshwater pool, showers to remove sand and salt in the break from the bleachers. In short, these and many other details made our stay very pleasant.  Perhaps what he has no words to describe is the beauty of the place, a bay secluded between two volcanic stone lanterns with a very thin black sand beach full of obsidian micro crystals that shone with the sun sparkling in colors like thousands of diamonds...

Somos una pequeña familia de 3 y solo pudimos obtener espacio en la Casa de Brenda esas fechas ya que el chico esta de vacaciones así que nuestras expectativas estaban bajas. Sin embargo llegar fue fácil luego de un largo viaje en auto desde Guatemala.  Brenda muy atenta a nuestra llegada. La casa estaba en perfecto estado muy limpia y ordenada, las instrucciones muy claras y precisas. Me encanto la amplitud de las habitaciones, la comodidad de las áreas comunes, el equipamiento de la cocina (la refri enorme), las sillas para asolearse, la piscina de agua dulce, duchas para quitarse la arena y sal en el descanso de las gradas en fin estos y muchos otros detalles hicieron nuestra estadía muy agradable.  Quizás lo que no tiene palabras para describir es la belleza del lugar, una bahía recluida entre dos farallones de piedra volcánica  con una playa de arena negra muy fina y llena de micro cristales de obsidiana que brillaban con el sol chispitas de colores como miles de diamantes...

Gracias Eugenio por tu bella descripción de nuestro espacio. Hasta pronto!

Can't put into words how magnificent this property is. Brenda, Valeria, William and Kenya were all super nice and helpful. Home is so secluded though, want to make sure you have a dependable vehicle, well worth the hassle though once you get there. No pictures can do it justice.

The house it’s beautiful and the people are very friendly they welcome us with love. I would definitely come back to this house again.

Please come back soon, always welcome!! it is great to have guests like you

My family and I stayed at Brenda’s place for the duration of our time in El Salvador - the house was beautiful, accommodated the 8 of us while still offering a private balcony or hammock escape. The beach was private and felt as if we had it all to ourselves. Brenda, Valeria, William, and Alex were all super helpful and made the trip seamless.

Thanks for staying at Ivy Marey Jacqueline, a pleasure to have you

Great place to rent for a secluded getaway. Very private. The beach was very nice, no rocks. The view was gorgeous.

It's great to have guests like you and your family... come back soon

Brenda was the best! Super responsive and went out of her way to accommodate last minute changes! I would highly recommend her! The house is BEAUTIFUL and very spacious.

Thanks Gretell, always welcome to Ivy Marey

Beautiful, nicely decorated home with amazing views. The road leading up to the house is very bumpy, however the house very comfortable and is in a private location with direct access to the beach. Brenda is a very nice and responsive host. The only thing I would suggest to the owner is that pool towels also be provided because in our case, since we are coming from abroad, we generally don’t carry this type of stuff which would take up too much room in our luggage. One thing to keep in mind is that if you want to do laundry, there’s a cost to it, so it’s good to review the house rules prior to booking so that you are fully aware. Overall, we had a great stay, and I would recommend staying at Brenda‘s place

Wonderful place with an amazing beach and views! Book it!!

Our pleasure to have wonderful guests like you.

Great service. The place is very clean  and the area is very nice. Definitely would go back to the place and recommend it

Excelente atención. El lugar muy limpio  y la zona muy bonita. Definitivamente volveria al lugar y lo recomendaria

Hasta pronto Ana Cristina, un gusto tenerles en casa

My family and I were delighted with Brenda's beach house. It's too cute. The location is perfect. It has a private beach. The house is super cozy. We felt really at home. The area is very quiet and perfect for rest. As for Brenda and the people who help her in the house are very attentive, approachable and kind. Both the accommodation and the host I give you a 10/10 Recommended!

Mi familia y yo quedamos encantados con la casa de playa de Brenda, es demasiado linda, la ubicación es perfecta cuenta con playa privada, la casa es súper acogedora nos sentimos realmente como en casa. La zona es muy tranquila perfecto para descansar. En cuanto a Brenda y las personas que le ayudan en la casa son muy atentas, accesibles y amables. Tanto al alojamiento como al anfitrión le doy un 10/10 Recomendado sin duda !

Muchas gracias Denise, ese 10/10 es recíproco, fueron huéspedes excepcionales,  les esperamos pronto .

Excellent !!! We were 5 adults 2 children (3 and 1 year old ) the house is super spacious, beautiful and very well cared for. My kids loved the beach. Oops, that warm sand haha. Everything was very good ! God bless El Salvador and may God continue to progress as you are already seeing.

Gracias Vielka por escoger nuestra casa 🏡 para sus vacaciones. Regresen pronto

This is the second time we stayed at Brenda's place. We had a phenomenal time. The beach is private and quiet. In terms of home, it is the comfort of being in your own home surrounded by art, color and a lot of serenity. The photos don't do justice to the beautiful part of the place. The kitchen is fully stocked, as are the bathrooms and very comfortable bedrooms. There are board games, various spaces for entertainment. The sign goes all the way to the beach, the table is the heart of the house, with a beautiful view of it and security. The people who helped us were very kind all the time. Brenda was an extraordinary host. Recommended without any hesitation.

Es segunda vez que nos hospedamos en casa de Brenda. La pasamos fenomenal. La playa es privada y tranquila. En cuanto a su casa es la comodidad de estar en tu propia casa rodeado de arte, color y mucha serenidad. Las fotos no le hacen justicia a lo precioso del lugar. La cocina está completamente equipada, al igual que los baños y habitaciones muy cómodas. Hay juegos de mesa, diversos espacios para entretenimiento. La señal llega hasta la playa, la mesa es el corazón de la casa, vista preciosa y una inmensa paz, tranquilidad y seguridad. Las personas que nos ayudaron fueron muy amables todo el tiempo. Brenda fue una anfitriona extraordinaria. Recomendado sin dudarlo.

Carolina, alojar huéspedes como ustedes en Ivy Marey es lo que hace que disfrutemos nuestro trabajo. Gracias. Les esperamos pronto

One of my favorite Airbnb. Brenda was awesome she provided lots of information prior to visit and recommendations for near by restaurant. Love the beach, view and how peaceful the house feels away from everything very relaxing. My family loved it and would definitely stay here again. The house keepers were also really nice and friendly!

Patty, un gran placer tenerles como huéspedes en Ivy Marey. Bienvenidos siempre

Excellent accommodation. Excellent host and the staff who take care of the place provide an excellent service.

Excelente alojamiento. Excelente anfitriona y el personal que atiende el lugar brinda un excelente servicio.

Muchas gracias Nelly, ha sido un gusto tenerles como huéspedes

Just WOW!!! what an amazing experience, this home was beautiful with all and more great views. All caretakers where amazing and tended to any request. Very responsive and my family will definitely come back to Ivy Marey!! Just recommend to have a truck for the bumpy road to the house but worth it once you are there.

Douglas, para nosotros ha sido un gran gusto tenerles. Gracias

Brenda's home is beautiful! We had an amazing time, William and Valeria were always very attentive, the beach is spectacular and extremely private. We look forward to coming back again soon.

La casa de Brenda es hermosa! La pasamos increíble, William y Valeria fueron siempre muy atentos, La playa es espectacular y sumamente privada. Esperamos volver pronto.

Book it! The pictures doesn’t give justice of how beautiful this place is! Brenda is an amazing host

Brenda had excellent communication! Always answered all my question prior and during the stay. Her home was just as described and seriously a peaceful vacation. I would stay here and recommend it to my friends. The drive up to the house is bumpy and can be a little confusing but after the first time you’ll get the hang of it. Always felt safe and you can literally hear the beach waves crashing. Also I wanted to add the aesthetics to the house are so beautiful. I’m big into energies, and vibes and I felt like the house gave that.

Gracias Leslie, las disculpas por el inconveniente y que te lastimo, ya vinieron a repararlas este dia y les pusieron refuerzos

This home is in a very secluded area, very zen and peaceful. The road is a little difficult to drive through if you don’t have a 4X4. The view of the ocean is amazing. We enjoyed the secluded entrance to the ocean.

Gracias Lizbeth por tus recomendaciones. Ya fueron tomadas en cuenta y ejecutadas :)   Saludos

Don’t think about it, just book it. Beautiful place with a beautiful private beach to enjoy and relax!! The pool has a really nice view of the beach below and the hammocks are the perfect way to relax next to the sound of the ocean <3 The host Brenda was very communicative and made sure everything went smoothly. William also was very helpful and built us a great bombfire in the beach!!!

Brenda William and Valeria were really attentive .views are amazing pictures don’t do the justice. I stayed 2 nights and  absolutely loved it. Highly recommend

Brenda's house is absolutely perfect and cozy. William and Valeria make you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive.

La casa de Brenda es absolutamente perfecta y acogedora. William y Valeria hacen sentirte cómoda desde el momento que llegas.

Beautiful house with an spectacular front beach view! A dream vacation for my family. We felt save and comfortable through our weekend stay. I will definitely come back!

Welcome anytime. A pleasure to have you and your family.

Ivy Marey is a beautiful house with spectacular views! My daughter described it best when she said it was like looking into a tropical wallpaper on your electronic device. This was our first time in El Salvador and I was looking for a place that my family and would remember forever and this house nailed it. Getting to the house is going to be a bit challenging so I would suggest a 4x4 vehicle to make it up the hills. However getting there is super easy and Brenda is always available if you need help. When arriving you will be met by William and Valeria who will give a walk through and offer information for anything else you need. Brenda’s guestbook recommendations are spot on. Our favorite thing to do was sit on the second floor on the hammock and listen to the waves. Sunsets are awesome and the absolute best part of this house is the small almost private beach area. I never saw more than 3 people at a time. There’s some doggies around but they are friendly. I can’t say enough about our experience here. So don’t hesitate and book!
